MCA-8000D Digital Multichannel Analyzer

Amptek's MCA-8000D is a state-of-the-art, compact, high-performance digital multi-channel analyzer (MCA). It replaces the MCA-8000A and provides the same functionality with reduced downtime, modern interfaces communication (USB, RS-232 and Ethernet) and much higher data transfer rates. Because it does not implement digital pulse shaping, it is compatible with analog pulse shaping systems.

 

Superior performance is achieved with a high-speed ADC (a 100 MHz 16-bit ADC) and sophisticated digital logic. The MCA-8000D digitizes the input signal (the output of an amplifier analog shaping) to measure the pulse height and obtain the pulse height spectrum. High-speed ADC, with a 10 ns conversion time, reduces dead time and increases the performance. The digital circuit produces high precision and stability.

 

The MCA-8000D includes three interfaces, USB (Full Speed USB 2.0), RS-232 (up to 115 kB), and Ethernet (10base-T). Uses the same software package_cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_DPPMCA  que los procesadores de señales digitales de Amptek, incluidos DP5, PX5 y X-123. El MCA-8000D it can be powered via USB or with an external AC/DC power supply.
